We start 2026 with the golden rule: every iteration must improve perceived quality, not just add content. We prefer to ship fewer things, but make them solid, coherent, and ready to scale.
The goal is to keep "No Shortcuts" alive: it's easy to say, harder to respect when pressure mounts.
Start of year focus:
- Consolidate the foundation (performance, readability, coherence)
- Finalize key systems (economy, comms, map states)
- Continue documenting to prepare for growth
